B for Black [Friday]

I always have and always will appreciate a good deal. Even though I don’t mind occasionally splurging on items that make my heart skip a beat, I feel like the joy is even greater when you know you saved a good amount. While I am fairly sure that I am blogger no. 175 to share the best Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals online with you, I do want to take a slightly different approach this year and make use of this crazy (in a good way) shopping weekend to remind you to be conscious while shopping.

 Jump to the best Black Friday & Cyber Monday deals

Buy less, with intent and purpose!

For many years, I have mentioned my personal cost-per-wear theory here on the blog. It is something that started out as an excuse whenever I spent a lot of money on things during my college years, but has really become a major mantra of mine in connection with my personal style. If you by 10 shirts for 10€ each, but only wear them all once, it will leave you at the same cost-per-wear as if you had spent 100€ on a single shirt that you adore and wear constantly (and which keeps it’s shape even after the 10th wash). Of course a higher price point doesn’t always guarantee a better quality, but it does make you think twice about how much wear you will actually get out of it and if the piece is worth it or not.

Now, I am not saying things have to be expensive in order to get a lot of wear. In contrast. I have 8€ dishes for our kitchen from H&M Home that we adore and use daily. I have Topshop jeans for under 60€ that are on constant repeat, just like my expensive Chanel bag. What I am trying to say is, (almost) every item that takes up space in your closet (or home) should be there for a reason. And a good discount is usually not a good enough reason by itself.

However, having said that, I have scored some of my most priced possessions at major discounts. The best Black Friday sales or Cyber Monday deals can save you anywhere from 20% to as much as 70%. But please shop with a purpose! And if you are having a hard time navigating the sales, be sure to check out this post about how to score the best designer sale finds.
